THEGIFTEDCHILDTelephone service has never beenso fast, convenient anddependable as it is today... and it's going to be better!Two words-growth and change-describemajor trends in the Bell telephone business.There is more of every kind of service formore people. And more and more new thingsare coming along all the time.Direct Distance Dialing is bringing a newera of speed and convenience In Long Dis­tance calling.Nearly 24,000,000 customers can now dialLong Distance calls direct to 39,000,000 tele­phone numbers in the United States andCanada.New underseas cables make it easy to talkacross oceans as clearly as a call across town.An entirely new era in communicationsfor business is being opened up by the BellSystem's Data-Phone service. It enables elec­tronic business machines to "talk" to eachother over regular telephone lines. Some daythere may be more of those calls than callsbetween people.Those are some of the new services. Justa few of the other newer things are shown onthe right.There's much more to come . . . from re­search and development, from the invest­ment of millions of dollars of new capital,and from the Bell System's never-endingdesire to give you the best and the mosttelephone service in the world.BELL TELEPHONE CALL DIRECTORWith the touch of a button you canconnect other office telephones, set upinteroffice conference calls, add otheroffice extensions to incoming calls.Two models. 18 and 30 push buttons.Many thousands already in service.THE PRINCESSIt's little!

But I couldneither spell nor pronounce her last name.Fortunately she corrected this lone draw­back in September, 1959, when she wasmarried to Ronald E.

Kimpton. Provisionfor the endowment had been madeoriginally in the form of a bequest, butthe terms were changed to an outrightgift at the time of Mr. Kimpton's resig­nation, in acknowledgment of his serv­ices to the University.Ferdinand Schevill was a member ofthe original faculty of the Universityof Chicago. He was born at Cincinnati,Ohio, in 1868, and came to Chicagoas a tutor in 1892, the same year hereceived his Ph.D. from the Universityof Freiburg in Germany. He served asprofessor of history until 1924. In 1930he returned to help inaugurate a gen­eral introductory course in the human­ities and as late as 1948, at the ageof 80, he went as an exchange professorto the University of Frankfurt. He diedin Tucson, Arizona in 1954, at the ageof 86.Mr. Schevill was known as a brilli- ant scholar and writer and as a stimulat­ing teacher. Of his dozen or so books,the best known dealt with the ItalianRenaissance and with modern Germany.His interest in literature and the artswas wide and profound.His memory had previously beenhonored at the University by the estab­lishment of the Ferdinand Schevill Fel­lowship in History, supported by giftsfrom former friends and students.Among his books were History ofEurope from the Reiormat'on to thePresent, which went through five edi­tions and was widely used as a collegetext; History of the Medicis, 1949; TheGreat Elector, 1947; History of Flor­ence, 1936; History of the Balkans,1922; First Century of Italian Human­ism, 1928; and The Making of ModernGermany, 1916.The new grant provides that thechair should be awarded to "a personwho has attained distinction as a schol­ar and teacher within the field of thehumanistic disciplines, including his­tory." It is expected that an appoint­ment will be made soon, to begin withthe academic year 1961-62.The new chair brings to fourteenthe number of distinguished serviceprofessorships at the University of Chi­cago. A distinguished service profes­sorship is the highest academic honorthe University can confer on a facultymember. '3LIBBY-Willard F. Libby, former pro­fessor at the University of Chicago, wasthe recipient of the 1960 Nobel Prizefor chemistry. He was honored fordeveloping a method of using radio­active carbon for determination of theage of materials in archaeology, geology,geophysics and other sciences.In 1946, while Mr. Libby was withthe University of Chicago, he sug­gested that the production of radio­active carbon was a common occurrencein the earth's atmosphere, and that allorganic materials exposed to air wouldhave about the same minute proportionof radioactive carbon. But material nolonger exposed would start losing radio­activity from the cut-off date. As theloss would occur at a predictable rate,the cut-off date could be preciselydetermined.Mr. Libby is now at the University ofCalifornia.BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES-Six Uni­versity of Chicago faculty membershave received 1960-61 fellowships tothe Center for Advanced Study in theBehavioral Sciences at Stanford, Cali­fornia. They are:Carl Christ, associate professor ofeconomics.Jacob W. Getzels, professor of edu­cation.Richard P. McKeon, Charles F.Grey Distinguished Service Professorof philosophy.Leo Strauss, Robert M. HutchinsDistinguished Service Professor of Po­litical science.Herbert A. Thelen, professor of edu­cation.David L. Wallace, associate profes­sor of statistics.Of the 52 fellowships awarded thisyear, six are from the University ofChicago; five from Yale, four fromthe University of Michigan, four fromthe University of California at Berke­ley.Supported by funds from the FordFoundation, the Center was foundedin 1954. Its purpose is to give maturescholars a year of freedom from teach­ing and other duties, and allow themto pursue individual projects in theirareas of special interest. At the sametime the Center brings them togetherin a single place, where they can pooland exchange ideas.Last year, five University of Chicagofaculty members were awarded fellow­ships to the Center. They are: Ben­jamin S. Bloom, professor of educa­tion; Allison Davis, professor of edu-4 cation; Howard F. Hunt, professor andchairman of the Department of Psy­chology; Albert Rees, associate pro­fessor of economics; and Fred L.Strodtbeck, associate professor of so­ciology and psychology' in the LawSchool and Department of Sociology.BASKETBALL COMING UP-The Uni­versity of Chicago basketball team willgo east this winter to play in two double­headers.

Upon termination of the federation, responsi­bility for separate programs of theo­logical education returned to each ofthe five members.The participating institutions arethe University of Chicago, the Divin­ity School of the University of Chi­cago, the Chicago Theological Semin-'ary, Disciples Divinity House andMeadville Theological School. The newcontractual arrangements set up rela­tionships with the University of Chi­cago which vary from institution toinstitution. They include:-Disciples Divinity House will enrollall of its students in the Divinity Schoolof the University and they will receiveUniversity of Chicago degrees.- Under the arrangement betweenMeadville and the University, Univer­sity courses will comprise at least 50percent of the academic requirementsfor a degree from Meadville Theo-,logical School.-Under a contract between the Chi­cago Theological Seminary and the D ni­versity, students of the Chicago Theo­logical Seminary will take at least one­fourth of their course work from the.Divinity School of the University, butthe Chicago Theological Seminary willhave its own faculty and degree pro­gram.- The Divinity School of the U niver­sity . with its 29-member faculty willconduct the University graduate theo­logical degree programs.Each of the separate new agreementsmakes special provision for studentsalready embarked on courses of studyunder the old system. They were as­sured of being able to continue theiroriginal academic programs.THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OFSCIENCE- Two University of Chicagofaculty members have been elected tothe National Academy of Science. Theyare Herbert L. Anderson, director ofthe Enrico Fermi Institute for NuclearStudies, and Antoni Zygmund, professorof mathematics.Appointment to the National Acad­emy of Sciences is one of the highesthonors that can be bestowed uponAmerican men of science. Of the 35scientists elected to the Academy thisyear, two were from the University ofChicago faculty.Mr. Anderson, who came to the Uni­versity as physicist and group leaderin the Metallurgical Laboratory, in 1942,was physicist and group leader, LosIAlamos Scientific Laboratory, during1944-46.

Hewas professor of mathematics, Univer­sity of Wilno, Poland, (now Lithuania,USSR), 1930-39; he became an Amer­ican citizen in 1947, the year he joinedthe University of Chicago faculty. "Within metropolitan areas," accord­ing to Mr. Hauser, "the population isbecoming increasingly decentralized orsuburbanized. Almost half, 49 per cent,of population within metropolitan areasresided in the suburbs in 1960. If thetrend continues, well over half, 54 percent, of the population in metropolitanareas will be suburban by 1970, and58 per cent, by 1980. The suburbsduring the past decade have absorbedtwo-thirds of the total population in­crease of the United States. The Amer­ican public is therefore becoming asuburban public. The full implicationsof this trend for the public relationsprofession is not yet too clear, but thatit has a bearing on methods and mes­sages in mass communication must berecognized. This trend poses problemswhich require more research than hasyet been done to grasp its full import."The age structure of the populationof the United States is changing morerapidly and more Significantly than everbefore, as the 1960 returns will demon­strate. This generation has lived throughtwo world wars and a major depressionduring which the birth rate Ructuatedconsiderably. The net effect of changesin the birth rate, together with con­tinuing decreases in the death rate, hasbeen a population which, during thepast decade and for several decadesto come, will be increasing more rapid­ly at either extreme-among the youthand among the aged-than among thepeople of intermediate age. The mostrapidly growing part of the populationduring the past decade, were those ofelementary school age.Concluded on page 14The University High School building, in use since the beginning of thefall quarter, was dedicated late last October with Arthur S.

Those expectations have generallybeen disappointed. Changes for better or for worsehave been much smaller than have been expected­and I should say with confidence that this is going tobe true again.Whatever candidates may say in an election cam­paign, the active freedom of maneuver the Presidentand the Secretary of State have in the conduct offoreign policy, is infinitely smaller than their promisesconcerning changes in foreign policy. A great nationlike ours, is as it were, hemmed in by the objectiveconditions of the international situation. It can moveonly so far and not farther in any' direction-and to agreat extent and to a greater extent than is generallyrecognized-what it does in foreign policy and whatit does not do, are determined not by the wisdom andthe will of the makers of foreign policy, but by theobjective conditions under which the policy makersmust operate.Once one has said this, however, one must also saythat at the present juncture in world events there isbound to be a much more drastic change in the conductof foreign policy than there has been in the past. Thesignificant characteristic of the situation in which theUnited States finds itself in international affairs is thatthe objective conditions under which its foreign policymust operate have far outstripped its foreign policy.There have been four great changes in the last tenyears on the international scene. Ten years ago theUnited States still had a monopoly of atomic weapons.Today there is an atomic stalemate: the United Statescan destroy the Soviet Union with atomic weapons andthe Soviet Union can destroy the United States in thesame way. Yet the policy of massive retaliation whichMr. Dulles proclaimed-a retaliation at the places andin the way of our own choosing-was conceivable onlyunder the condition that the United States had a mon­opoly of atomic weapons and could not be retaliatedagainst in kind. Secondly, today there is a crisis in ouralliance system-a crisis which has become acute ifyou consider the case of. Japan and Fiance today. Whileten years ago those nations could not have survivedas independent entities without the support of the, United States, today they can again stand on their ownfeet and, being able to do so, they can pursue policiesof their own without regard to the preferences of the6 FOREIGUnited States. Furthermore, we live today in a periodof history which sees the end of colonial war and inconsequence we are faced with a multitude of "new �nations" many of which are lacking in the essentials;of nationhood and are a standing invitation for inter- inational conflict and disorder. And finally, we are in ithe presence today of an enemy, the Soviet Union,·which has become much stronger than it was in timespast, which has become the other great world power, �and which has been able to revive-because of thatstrength-the ideas of Lenin about world revolutionand the conquest of the world by Communism.These are the new factors with which the UnitedStates must come to terms. There is a fifth factor im­pending. The exclusive membership of the atomic club Iis bound to be expanded without limits, without con­trols, if the present trend is not reversed. The nextadministration, the United States and the whole civilizedworld will be faced with the likelihood that twentynations will have in their hands the power to start achain reaction at the end of which will be the end ofcivilized life on this planet. IWhat are the priorities of American foreign policyin view of this situation, in view of these objective con­ditions which have already arisen or are likely to arisein the immediate future?Let me state first of all an obvious fact: the OVer­riding concern of any responsible administration mustbe the problem of the control of nuclear weapons. For,whatever else you may do, whatever else you mayachieve, nothing will avail you anything if within a fewyears any fool or knave in any small country will havein hand a weapon with which he can destroy humanityor with which he can at least start a process at the endof which there will be the destruction of humanity.For this reason I believe that the negotiations on the'decision of atomic tests are of crucial importance. Ifwe cannot agree with the Soviet Union on the super­national control of this fairly limited technical problemthere isn't the slightest hope that we can agree withthem on anything else.And if we cannot now establish the rudiments of a'supernational organization which at least can demon­strate itself to be able to control one very limited tech­nical aspect of this .momentous problem, then five yearsfrom now, we are not going to have Cuba going to theUnited Nations complaining about the United States.'Castro-or who ever his successor may be-will besending a wire to the government of the United States'that a nuclear bomb has been deposited in Grand Cen-THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEJ.

So this is the situ­ation which inevitably we will face in a couple of years:any nation can blackmail any other, face it with thealternative of either surrender or at least partial de­struction, retaliation will result in a chain reaction ofmutual destruction at the end of which will be the endof civilized life itself.If as I have said before, in comparison with this over­riding problem all other problems with which theUnited States is faced on the international scene aresecondary problems, I do not mean that they are notimportant. I would give next priority to the great powerand prestige which the Soviet Union has acquired inrecent years. The Soviet Union today on the inter­national scene can with an unprecedented degree ofplausibility challenge the United States in all endeavorsof international importance. The Soviet Union c.an nowpose in the role which the United States has playedfrom the beginning of its history, as a model of socialand economic organization for other nations to emulate.You will remember that the founders of the UnitedStates, and more particularly the foreign observers ofthe United States, were convinced that the experimentin self-government and in freedom and equality whichwas going on in the United States was not going ononly for the sake of the United States but for the sakeof humanity itself. As Thomas Paine put it, "The Amer­ican revolution has not been made for the United Statesalone, but for all mankind." This conviction on the partof Americans was echoed by foreign observers through­out the 18th and 19th and even the 20th centuries.The Soviet Union now tells the underdeveloped na­tions, the former colonial nations, that its type of indus­trial development is the type which they must followif they want quickly to enter the 20th century as theSoviet Union has done. This claim alone would notneed to bother us. But the fact that this claim carrieswithin itself a certain plausibility because of the actualsuccesses of the Soviet Union, because of the actualrelative lack of dynamic progress which the UnitedI ' States has made in recent years, is of the greatest im­portance. And so when Mr. Khrushchev today says tothe world-'we will win, we will bury you capitalists'DECEMBER, 1960 MANDEL HALL GARGOYLEhe speaks not with mere empty boastfulness but witha certain degree of plausibility born out by the actualspectacular successes in the field of industrializationand technology which the Soviet Union has achieved.Here is a great challenge for the United States-notso much a challenge to compete in quantitative termswith the Soviet Union but rather a challenge to com­pete with ourselves: To compete with our own past, torestore for ourselves for the sake of our own self-respectand our own stature in the world, that image of anation and of a society which has a lesson to teach tothe rest of the world. This is a competition primarilyin terms of gross national product. I am not particularlyconcerned about the rate of growth of the Russianeconomy as against ours per se. What concerns memuch more is the purposeful progress the Soviet Unionhas made and the placid satisfaction with which welook at what we have achieved..7This challenge which the Soviet Union presents tothe United States, has a direct bearing uponthe thirdproblem: rise of the new nations, the former colonialor semi-colonial nations. There is a very clear demon­stration of this problem in present-day Cuba. Wewould make a big mistake in thinking that the Cubanrevolution has been initiated by the Communists, thatit is a result of Communist intrigue. I think it is aresult of indigenous dissatisfaction which the Com­munists have exploited because we have not taken theleadership in offering goals for popular aspirations. And,this dissatisfaction which has come to the fore inCuba is potentially present throughout Latin Amer­ica throughout Africa and Asia. And if we don'tradically reverse the trend of our foreign policy, wewill find that everywhere the Communists will poseas the liberating, the progressive force and we will beput in the position everywhere of the conservative forcewhich is identified with a doomed status quo.Now, let me say only a word about our alliance sys­tem. It was created in the aftermath of World War II.lts aim was primarily military because the threat wasprimarily military-the threat of the Soviet Army stand­ing in the heart of Europe. In so far as our alliancesare aimed at meeting this threat they are both appro­priate and successful, but I've felt from the very begin­ning that it was a fundamental mistake to extend ourmilitary alliance system from Europe to Asia and totry to meet a non-military challenge=which is thenature of the challenge in Asia-by military means. Wecleated SEATO; we sponsored the Bagdad Pact. Inthe eyes of millions of people in Asia we were and westill are identified with militarism and even with war­like policies because we have put so much emphasisupon military measures in a situation which requiresmuch more subtle, much more complex psychological,economic and political measures. In a Gallop pollwhich was made in India, I think in February of 1959,the question was raised as to who was the main threatto peace-the United States or the Soviet Union-andthe great majority of the Indians who replied answeredthe United States. This is a measure of our failure toput the real image of the United States before the restof the world.No nation, no government, can pursue an activeforeign policy, and a successful foreign policy, adapt­able to new conditions without the people at homebeing aware of the issues and being willing to supportsuch a policy. It is at this point that foreign policyand domestic politics merge. Now it is very easy andin the short run it may even be successful to paint arosy picture about a nation's international situation fordomestic political purposes. But for the kind of foreignpolicy the United States is bound to need in years tocome, it needs a domestic policy which tells the peoplethe somewhat unpleasant truth.Consider that the State Department, the main agentof Our foreign policy, is, after the Labor Department,the smallest department of our government, and that ithas the greatest trouble in getting appropriations fromCongress. One of the leading officials of the StateDepartment told me recently that they have two con­suls in six new African nations (the only diplomaticrepresentation the United States has there) because8 they don't have the money to send ambassadors. Hetold me that two years ago he went to Congress andasked for $20,000 for a new Assistant Secretary of Statefor African Affairs, and it took him seven months toget that $20,000 when we spend billions of dollars forobsolescent weapon. systems. It is nothing short of ascandal that the State Department which is the agency Iwhose purpose it is to prevent the necessity of usingthose weapons, and to insure our survival itself, cannot'get the small funds necessary to do its job. I've beentold by the same eminently qualified source that ifthe State Department would get five million dollars inextra appropriations it could greatly increase the effec­tiveness of its diplomatic representation abroad. Nowhere, I think, is a job which all citizens can perform; Ithey bring home to Congress and to the people at large,the absolute necessity of providing the essential funds.And so the next administration will be faced Withenormous tasks-with tasks which will by far transcendany of the tasks any preceding administration had toface, and to meet. lt would be the height of illusion tobelieve that in different ways the meeting of those tasks Iwill not mean enormous sacrifices for all of us, perhapsnot so much material sacrifices, but more particularlyideological sacrifices. We will have to part with a greatnumber of cherished ideas which we have taken forgranted and we must embrace new ones adequate foran entirely new situation. And the first task of the next Iadministration is to tell you of the great difficulties Weface rather than to tell you that this is the best of allpossible worlds and it will remain so. •The difficulty in resolving the Soviet-American conflict lies,I believe, in a number of different factors:-A persuasive, detailed program for arms control does notnow exist. I-Whether or not the Russians have ruled out the possibilityof surprise attack, it is clear that in recent years Moscow ha'sused its missile and space advantage as an instrument of black­mail, psychological warfare, and diplomacy. Communist leadersmay feel a certain reluctance to abandon this instrument so longas they feel the advantage is theirs.- The Soviet commitment to the notion of Communist Worlddomination-while tempered in practice-is a major hurdle forthem. It will be difficult, but perhaps not impossible, for them.to place military force under international control and pursueworld power by other means. But we should face unblinkinglythe fact that Communist doctrine, down to the present day,regards military force, and the threat of force, as an integralcomponent of the pursuit of expanded political power.-Should the Russians accept international arms control, itwill be difficult-but in time perhaps not impossible-for them toexplain to their people that their security rests primarily not,on their strength, nor on their vigilance against espionage fromabroad, but on mutual inspection. This will involve majorchanges in the relations between the Russian government andthe Russian peoples; for the domestic basis of Communist rulehas depended since 1917 on developing and maintaining theimage of a hostile external world.This may appear a formidable list of difficulties. But weshould also be aware that the spread' of nuclear weapons toadditional powers is recognized as a danger by Moscow; that. the new generation in Russia may find these difficulties lessinsurmountable than their elders; and, above all, we can notreally know how grave these difficulties are unless a strong, Con­fident, well-poised United States approaches the Russians withconcrete, workable proposals in high seriousness. This is our'first responsibility: to ourselves, our children, and to men andwomen everywhere.JOHN F.

The Man and His GirlsOnce on a time there was a manWhose life was in the middle span;He was not young, nor old yet quite.He mixed his black hair up with white,And had the leisure night and dayF or revelry and love and play.He loved two women, young and old.The young girl saw him young and bold;The older woman saw him sage,A fellow for her in old age.And so the maiden in her primePulled out his white hairs every timeShe found one blossoming-alack!­The old one only pulled the black,Until between the two the pairHad made him bald by pulling hair.910 AstronomyOutpostThis fall alumni visited Yerkes Observatory in Wil­liams Bay, Wisconsin for a day of picnicking, wander­ing the 80 acres of rolling grounds, touring the largedome of the Observatory, and hearing two of thefaculty members speak about the space program.Director of Yerkes Observatory, William Morgan wel­comed the alumni to "this outpost of the Universityof Chicago which serves the University one hundredmiles from its campus." The manner of this serVice,he said, is unspectacular. "Our telescope equipment isnot modern; it is far inferior to the Pacific coast equip­ment. But the quality of our staff is another matter. Ittakes second place to none."The men at Yerkes are working in a field of discovery.Rather than concentrating on the ordering of knownfacts as have many sciences since Darwin, astronomyhas been characterized by spectacular discovery, mak­ing necessary, changes in the ordering of the field it­self. Astronomers talk about old stars and young stars,stars in the process of formation, clusters of stars (amillion years old, a billion years old). They talk aboutthe universe originating in a 'big bang,' or existing forall time, or constantly renewing itself.In the midst of many exciting possibilities for re­search, there has been no shortage of data. Mr. Morgantold of an observatory which set up a radio-telescope torecord the brightness of stars directly on computerpunch cards. The apparatus was set to working aroundthe clock. The records piled up. Astronomers workedat tabulating the data, but they couldn't keep up withits accumulation. Soon the records filled a room;eventually they filled a building. Reluctantly, theyturned the equipment off.So, the problem is to get the meat from the data ...the very large amount of data available. "The generalimpression is that all the great problems have beensolved by astronomers of the past," Mr. Morgan sum­marized. "This is completely false. In astronomy thegreatest problems of the universe remain to be solved. indeed, to be raised," •THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe brown Romanesque building that housesthe Observatory is in the shape of a Latincross, with the three domes of the Observa­tory at three of its extremities.

Chamberlain:Consideration of matters astronomical demands acertain scale of thought that it is important to establishfrom the first sentence. Since Ptolemy in the secondcentury (he's the one who thought the earth was thecenter of the universe) and Copernicus in the 1400's(he put the sun at the center), astronomers have beengetting further and further out. Their customary expres­sion of distance is in terms of "light years" -and sincelight travels at 186,000 miles per second, and takes onlyeight minutes to make the trip from the sun to theearth, the distances with which they are concerned areof considerable magnitude.Unlike most astronomers on our faculty and else­where, Joseph W. Chamberlain confines his primaryinterest to closer to home. While he hastens to assureone that our sun is really just an average garden varietystar and that we can assume there are many like it withtheir own courts of planets out in space, his specialinterest is in our own solar system. For this reason, heis particularly qualified to explain the importance ofthe man-in-space program to the field of astronomy.The space program is directly concerned only withour own solar system. This is according to Mr. Cham­berlain, a matter of simple necessity. The distance fromthe earth to the sun is 93 million miles. In a good fastspace ship it would take at least six months to covera distance of thi,� magnitude-one way. The trip toPHOTOS: YASUHIRO ISHIMOTOTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEVenus, our nearest planet, would take at least threemonths; Mars, the next nearest, is at least six monthsaway. This is a long trip. Yet, the nearest other starto our solar system is four light years away. At thatrate of travel, Mr. Chamberlain suggests that rocketships would have to be equipped at least with billiardtables.However, there are many questions which can onlybe answered by going out into space and answers foundto those questions will have implications beyond ourown solar system.One of the most interesting questions is: Is there lifeon other planets?A biologist can tell us the conditions necessary forlife as we know it. He can list the temperature limits,and the presence of water and oxygen which haveenabled life to persist and evolve here. We can thusrule out the moon as having life on it: it has no atmos­phere, intense ultra-violet radiation, and just as ourdeserts, it has a large temperature range.Likewise, Mercury, the innermost planet, has noatmosphere. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune haveatmospheres toxic to oxidizing forms of life. Perhapson these planets yeasts or some forms of cancers grow.They might, indeed, offer a whole new realm for thebiologist.Balloon observations made with equipment sentabove our atmosphere to record light rays from Venusunaffected by our own atmosphere have recently re­vealed water on that planet. There is somewhat lesswater than on earth; somewhat more carbon dioxide.It is not known for certain whether or not there is freeoxygen,Mars is known to have water, a little carbon dioxide,and very little if any oxygen. Therefore, conditionsthere are not extremely conducive to life.Probes set on the planets could tell us about the hard­ness of their crust, could give us seismograph reports of earth tremors and quakes. A study of the presenceof auroras on the planets could indicate magnetic fields,and perhaps more intense Van Allen fields, and thusa radiation hazard. They could also teach us moreabout our own earth and why it has a magnetic field.The theory is that the interior of the earth behavesvery much like a dynamo, with the essential factorbeing the earth's rotation. The rotation of Venus isperhaps very slow: one month and 14 days, as com­pared to earth's once every 24 hours. If Venus shouldprove the same size, weight, and composition inside asthe earth, but does not rotate, this could be a blowto the dynamo theory.Balloon, rocket and satellite launchings have and willcontinue to reveal many of the secrets of these formerlyinaccessible reaches. Within four or five years, Mr.Chamberlain predicts that an orbiting, astronomicalobservatory will be circling the earth, satisfactorilyrecording the events above our atmosphere. No longerwill the view from the telescope be a view throughdirty glasses. Such an observatory could telemeter backits findings. It could also be a manned laboratory.However, Project Mercury-s-man in space-is theevent he looks forward to. He compares this event tothe first flight over the Atlantic, the conquest of Everest.He compares the additional information possible in thisway: Would you send instruments to record New YorkCity if you could send a man to write a book?Would such a trip be worth the tremendous expense?Already the great discovery of the Van Allen radiationbelt has had practical application. It has given usadvance warning of electrical storms and their severeinterference in communications.Science has become more and more expensive, Mr.Chamberlain admits, however, it has always paid backinto society. Besides, if national security and prestigedemand that we send a shot to Venus, it would be ashame not to put a good experiment aboard!DECEMBER, 1960 William MorganandJoseph W.

Written in French, andappearing in an Italian learned journal,Mr. Weinberg's article is the first de­tailed and complete study of any ofPerse's major works. The function ofcriticism and of such studies is to makethe poem more readily comprehensibleto the general and the serious read�r,he said. Some commentators have in-h " b "correctly applied t e term 0 scureto Perse."If they mean by this that he is notwell known, they overlook the fact thathe has been writing for 40 years, hasbeen translated into many languages, is studied in numerous university courses,and, last year, won two importantFrench literary prizes."If thev mean his poetry can beenjoyed only by the so-called seriousstudent, they are choking on a grainof truth that is not all that large. There,is no doubt that the 'serious student'will derive more from a close readingof poetry. But I think the generalreader, even when he is unsure of themeaning, will find much to. enjoy inPerse," according to Mr. Wemberg.The poem "Anabasis," which reCOuntsan imaginary expedition of explorationand conquest, offers the following tothe general reader, he says:- Great power of evocation in thesense of development of visual imagery.- Great 'beauty of language, rhythmand harmony which carry the readeralong.- A sense of great adventure,Mr. Weinberg quoted T. S. Eliot'sadvice that "the reader has to allowthe images to fall into his memory suc­cessively without questioning the rea­sonableness of each at the moment;so that, at the end, a total effect isproduced."Although he agrees with Eliot onthis point. Mr. 'Y �inberg diffeI:� withhim and other critics who say Anab­asis" (which was translated into Englishby Eliot in 1930) is a narrative poem."M y analysis is that it is a long poemin prose whose structure is essentiallya lyric structure, even though, "?ecauseit recounts a series of events, It looksat times like a narrative."This lyric structure really �resentsa kind of commentary on the forwardprogress of mankind and accompaniesthis with a sense of joy in the aCCOm­plishments of the human spirit," he says.SONGI have halted my horse by the tree ofthe doves, I whistle a note so sweet, shallthe rivers break faith with their banks?(Living leaves in the morning fashionedin glory .... )And not that a man be not sad, butarising before day and biding cirCUm­spectly in the communion of an ?ld tree,leaning his chin on the last fadlI�g star,he beholds at the end of the fastmg skygreat things and pure that unfold todelight. ...I have halted my horse by the dove-moaning tree, I whistle a note more SWeet....

And some there are who haveknowledge thereof. . . .From Anabasis by St.-John Perse, translated byT. S. Eliot, Copyright, 1938, by Harcourt, Braceand Co., Inc.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEA NEW DEFINITION:G FTEDNESSIN A RESEARCH PROJECT THAThas been continuing for more than four years, two Univer­sity of Chicago professors have been challenging some ofthe basic premises of our education theory. First, they havechallenged the significance of the I.Q. test as an indicationof "giftedness" in children. They suggest that there areimportant intellectual functions which are not consideredin I.Q. testing. Second, they have found that the giftedchild as singled out by I.Q. tests is not equally valued byteachers and parents in the classroom and at home, nor ishe considered an equally good bet by teachers and parentsto succeed as an adult. Third, they question that childrenthemselves want to be gifted and feel that giftedness isnecessary for adult success.For their research on giftedness, Jacob W, Getzels andPhilip W. Jackson used a group of about five hundredadolescents in the University Laboratory School. The graderange covered extended from the end of the sixth grade tothe end of the senior year in high school. Their testingprogram involved the assessment of traditional qualities,such as intelligence and psychological health, and includedattempts to assess less conventional dimensions such ascreativity, morality, and the like.In the study, Mr. Getzels and Mr. Jackson selected twoDECEMBER, 1960 groups of students as mutually exclusive. These were the"highly intelligent" -defined as those who were in the top20 percent of the sample population on conventional I.Q.measures but who were not in the top 20 per cent on meas­ures of creativity, and the "highly creative"-defined asthose who were in the top 20 per cent of the sample popu­lation on measures of creativity but who were not in thetop 20 per cent in I.Q.They did not include in their experimental groups chil­dren who were high in both creativity and intelligence. Andthey found many such individuals. Rather, they were seek­ing to isolate the two qualities from each other to �xaminethe relative contribution of each to the functioning of thechild. The children who excelled in both areas are thesubjects of further investigation still in progress.The researchers offer these representative examples ofhow the high-I.Q. and high-creative subjects responded toa stimulus-picture most often perceived as a man workinglate (or very early) in an office (the children were askedto write four-minute stories in response to such a pictureRashed on a screen for twenty seconds):The high-I.Q. student:"There's ambitious Bob, down at the office at 6:30 inthe morning. Every morning it's the same. He's tryingto show his boss how energetic he is. Now, thinks Bob,maybe the boss will give me a raise for all my extra work.The trouble is that Bob has been doing this for the lastthree years, and the boss still hasn't given him a raise. He'llcome in at 9:00, not even noticing that Bob had been thereso long, and poor Bob won't get his raise."The high-creative student:"This man has just broken into this office of a newcereal company. He is a private-eye employed by a com­petitor firm to find out the formula that makes the cerealbend, sag and sway. After a thorough search of the officehe comes upon what he thinks is the current formula. Heis now copying it. It turns out that it is the wrong formula,and the competitor's factory blows up. Poetic justice!"Mr. Getzels and Mr. Jackson point out that the abilityto restructure stereotyped objects with ease and rapidityis a characteristic mark of the creative child as comparedto the high-I.Q. child, and they used this characteristic asone of their keys to selection of the highly creative subjects.They described their methods of selection in this way:15"All the tests in the creative battery involved facility indealing with verbal and numerical symbol systems andobject-space relationships. Some instruments called forrapid verbal associations to stimulus words; others calledfor the ability to structure quickly an incomplete or dis­torted perceptual stimulus; still others required remote, orclever, or original responses to complex verbal situations(e.g., supplying last lines to a fable). In one test the sub­ject was to respond to a complex paragraph involvingnumerical values by suggesting all the mathematical prob­lems which could be solved with the information in theparagraph."After identifying the two groups, Mr. Getzels and Mr.Jackson compared them to each other and to the populationfrom which they were drawn on a number of variables:school performance, teacher preferences, students' choicesof personal qualities they preferred, and children's percep­tion of qualities they believed would lead to success inadulthood and which they felt their teachers preferred. Inaddition, the children were asked to write four-minutestories in response to six pictures such as the one alreadymentioned. An examination was made of the writing styleof the two groups.The research disclosed:-Despite a difference of 23 points between the meanI.Q.'s of the two groups, they were equally superior inschool achievement to the student population as a whole.- Teachers exhibited a clear-cut preference for the high-I.Q. child.-Regarding personal aspirations, the creative child rateshigh marks, I.Q., pep and energy, character, and goal­directedness lower than do members of the highly intelli­gent group. The creative child also rates wide range ofinterests, emotional stability, and sense of humor higherthan do the members of the highly intelligent group. Theemphasis on sense of humor is so marked among the crea­tive group that it is one characteristic that sharply sets apartthe high-creativity group from all other groups. For ex­ample, one creative child during the test wrote a story on"face cream and divorce." He blamed a divorce on thewoman's slippery cold cream. He wrote: "She wore somuch cold cream on her face at night that her head wouldskid across the pillow and hit him (the former husband) inthe head. He is now contemplating a new skid-proof facecream."� The high-I.Q. child seeks to possess now those qualitieswhich he believes will lead to success in adult life. Thecreative child does not use this goal as a criterion in select­ing his present aspirations.- The high-I.Q. child holds to a self-ideal consonant withwhat he believes his teachers would approve. The creativechild shows a negative correlation with such a model.- When the occupations mentioned by the two groupsare analyzed into conventional (lawyer, doctor, professor)and unconventional (adventurer, inventor, writer) cate­gories, the creative children give a significantly greaterproportion of unconventional occupations than do the high­LQ. students.-Compared to the high-I.Q. child, the creative childseemed to "play with" the six stimuli pictures for the pleas­ure of invention rather than "labor," and the nature of thefantasies of the two groups was revealed strikingly in thestimulus-picture comparison.16 There is one other characteristic that is well illustratedby a number of the stories. This is a certain mocking atti­tude on the part of the creatives toward what they call theAll-American Boy-a theme that is almost never mentionedby the high I.Q.'s. Here, for example, are two responsesto the stimulus-picture most often construed as a high schoolstudent doing his homework. IThe high-LQ. student:"John is a college student who posed for the picturewhile doing his homework. It is an average day with theusual amount of work to do. John took a short break fromhis studies to pose for the pictures, but he will get backto his work immediately after. He has been working foran hour already and he has an hour's more work to go.After he finishes he will read a book and then go to bed. iThis work which he is doing is not especially hard but ithas to be done."The high-creative student:,"The boy's name is Jack Evans and he is a senior inschool who gets C's and B's, hates soccer, does not revoltagainst convention and has a girl friend named Lois who isa typical sorority fake. He is studying when someOneentered the room whom he likes. He has a dull life in termsof anything that is not average. His parents are pleasedbecause they have a red-blooded American boy. Actually,he is horribly average. He will go to college, take over hisdad's business, marry a girl, and do absolutely nothing inthe long run."This "anti-red-blooded-boy" theme is also quite consistentwith the creatives' rejection of "success" which was men­tioned earlier.THE STUDY FURTHER SHOWEDthat many parents and teachers of gifted children put littlevalue on the youngsters' high intelligence quotients as indi­cations of future success. Moreover, children were foundto aspire to the qualities that their parents and teacherslinked with success, and not "giftedness."An "Outstanding Traits Test" applied to parents, teachersand children has swept aside these commonly held concepts.This test was constructed on the basis of the literature; all 'the qualities describing the gifted child or more generally,giftedness, were listed. Clearly one of the qualities Wasintelligence-but only one. Another was social skill. An­other, emotional stability. Another, a wide variety of inter­ests. Another, creativity. Another, superior school achieve­ment. Another, health. And so on. In all, eleven such tglobal characteristics were found. This list was presentedto graduate students, parents, teachers, and others withinstructions to add to or subtract qualities they consideredsocially or personally prestigeful so that if a child Wereespecially endowed with one or more of these character­istics, they would be willing to call him "gifted." Two morequalities were added, and the "Outstanding Traits Test" Ithen consisted of thirteen descriptions of giftedness. Noclaims are made as to the exhaustiveness of the qualitiesused. However, it was found that after numerous trials noqualities of the same order of generality were either added •to or subtracted from this list.The results of the application of this test to teachers, Iparents and students were startling. The following commonbeliefs were discredited:THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE· -That the gifted child as singled out by I.Q. tests isequally valued by teachers and parents in the classroomand at home;-That he is held to be an equally "good bet" by teachersand parents to succeed as an adult;-That children themselves want to be gifted.Instead, it was found that:The three qualities ranked highest by the parents in de­fining the gifted child were creativity, I.Q., and goal­directedness. But the three qualities they ranked highestin defining the child they wanted in the family were emo­tional stability, moral character and social skill.The three qualities ranked highest by the teachers werethe same for the gifted child and for the child they wantedin the class, namely, I.Q., good marks, creativity."In effect," the researchers state, "the teacher wants thegifted child, as he defines him, in the classroom; the parentdoes not appear to want the gifted child, as he defines him,in the family."They consider it "startling" that parents and teacherssometimes saw little relationship between giftedness in anintellectual sense and success in adult life. The attitude ofteachers draws their particular comment. The three qual­ities they ranked highest in predicting success in life weresocial skill, goal-directedness and emotional stability, thusnot including any they had listed highest for giftedness."In effect, if the case may be overstated somewhat, whatthe teacher appears to be saying is: The children who aregifted are the children I like to teach, but not the oneswho I feel will be successful as adults," according to M1'.Getzels and Mr. Jackson.When the "Outstanding Traits Test" was administered tosome 450 high school students who were asked to rank thedifferent children "on the degree to which you would liketo be like them," these rankings of what might be calledthe self-ideal children were then compared with the rank­ings defining gifted children already obtained from teachersand parents. The correlations varied for boys and for girls,for teachers and for parents, but they were uniformly low.For example, the first three qualities selected by girls asthose they would like for themselves were: social skill,moral character, emotional stability. High marks, I.Q., andcreativity ranked toward the bottom. It will be recalledthat I.Q., high marks, and creativity were exactly the qual­ities held most characteristic of giftedness by both teachersand parents. "The point to be made," according to Mr. Getzels andMr. Jackson, "is that children aspire to qualities differentfrom-if not antithetical to-the qualities their teachers andparents hold descriptive of giftedness. They seem insteadto aspire to those qualities their teachers and parents holdpredictive of success. In this sense, children do not wantto be gifted. They would much rather be successful."In a summary description of the two types of students,Mr. Getzels and Mr. Jackson report, "It seems to us thatthe essence of the performance of our creative adolescentslay in their ability to produce new forms, to risk conjoiningelements that are customarily thought of as independentand dissimilar, to 'go off in new directions.' The creativeadolescent seemed to possess the ability to free himselffrom the usual, to 'diverge' from the customary. He seemedto enjoy the risk and uncertainty of the unknown. In con­trast the high-l.Q. adolescent seemed to possess to a highdegree the ability and the need to focus on the usual, to be'channelled and controlled' in the direction of the rightanswer-the customary. He appeared to shy away fromthe risk and the uncertainty of the unknown and to seek outthe safety and security of the known."Furthermore, and most important, these differences do notseem to be restricted to the cognitive functioning of thesetwo groups. The data with respect to both intellectually­oriented and socially-oriented behavior are of a piece. Thehigh-I.Q.'s tend to converge upon stereotyped meanings, toperceive personal success by conventional standards, to move,toward the model provided by teachers, to seek out careersthat conform to what is expected of them. The high-crea­tives tend to diverge from stereotyped meanings, to produceoriginal fantasies, to perceive personal success by uncon­ventional standards, to seek out careers that do not con­form to what is expected of them.The researchers conclude, "Turning to the social implica­tions of this research, and,' indeed, of the great bulk ofresearch dealing with creativity, there seems to be littledoubt as to which of these two personal orientations re­ceives the greater welcome in the majority of our socialinstitutions. . . . It is, we believe no less than a tragedythat in American education at all levels we fail to distin­guish between our convergent and divergent talents-or,even worse, that we try to convert our divergent studentsinto convergent students. Divergent fantasy is called 're­bellious' raher than germinal; unconventional career choiceis called 'unrealistic' rather than courageous." •ASSOCIATE PROFESSOROF EDUCATIONAL PSY­CHOLOGY PHILIP W.JACKSON AND PROFES­SOR JACOB W.
